Admin Insider Threat - Not Only a Network Access Problem

Computer world article discusses the recent data and software sabotage caused by a former network engineer at Council of Community Clinics (CCC) in San Diego. In this scenario back-up data and software were deleted, but imagine the threat of a former employee with privileged access replacing key software with software containing injected malware. This type of attack may never be noticed because IPS and end point security systems would see it as a legitimate process.
